Aaaaaaaaaannndddd... Disney Does It Again!

Walt Disney Pictures has produced hundreds of epic movies that boast tales of princesses, lions, mermaids, a girl in Wonderland, race cars, and all sorts of creatures and other animated objects.  Disney's latest smash hit, Tangled, is by far, one of my favorites.  A re-vamped attempt at making Rapunzel popular, Tangled hits the spot with the perfect amount of sweet, spice, and most things nice.

Here's the review from movies.ign.com:

Walt Disney Animation once again embraces traditional "princess" fare with Tangled, a cheeky retelling of the Brothers Grimm fairy tale, Rapunzel. In this more action-oriented musical comedy, Rapunzel (voiced by Mandy Moore) is a princess who was abducted as a baby and raised as a virtual prisoner in a remote castle by the evil witch, Mother Gothel (Donna Murphy). Rapunzel boasts 70 feet of magic, golden hair -- hair that keeps Mother from aging.

Having spent her entire life within the tower (with just Mother and the tiny, silent chameleon Pascal for company), Rapunzel is full of curiosity about the outside world. One day while Mother Gothel is away, Rapunzel is frightened by a surprise visitor coming through her window, the dashing, roguish bandit Flynn Rider (voiced by Chuck's Zachary Levi). Flynn is on the run from his brutish former cohorts, the Stabbington Brothers (one of whom is voiced by Ron Perlman), after escaping with a jeweled tiara they had stolen.

Following their meet-cute introduction, Rapunzel and Flynn make a deal. He will escort her through the wilderness to the kingdom, where she'll finally get to behold the annual festival of lights. (This festival, held on what is the unsuspecting Rapunzel's birthday, is in remembrance of the lost princess.) In exchange, Rapunzel will give Flynn back the stolen tiara she's hidden from him.

Rapunzel and Flynn find themselves on the run from not only the Stabbington Brothers and Mother Gothel, but also from the royal guards (and one very determined horse named Maximus) who want Flynn in custody. As Rapunzel and Flynn grow more attracted to one another, the question becomes whether Flynn will succumb to his bad boy ways and betray her trust.
As you can imagine, Disney tops the movie off with a nice, big Happy Ending.  This movie targets an audience of all ages, which contributes partially to its overall success.  Witty and charming, Tangled won my heart from the first preview.  It was released on Tuesday, March 29th.  I bought it on Saturday, April 2nd, and I've watched it five times since then.  It's only noon on Monday, April 4th.  You do the math.  And watch Tangled while you're at it!
